Plan Details
Let's Understand The Plan With An Example:

Vikas at age 35 chooses to buy BSLI Vision MoneyBack Plus Plan for a policy term of 20 years for a Sum assured of Rs. 2,50,000. Based on his life stage, his annual premium per year is set at Rs. 26,225 which he has to pay for 10 years. Since he chose to receive the guaranteed survival benefit every 5th year, he will receive Rs. 37, 500 in 5th year. The amount will increase to Rs. 50,000, Rs. 62,500 & Rs. 1,00,000 in 10th, 15th & 20th year respectively. Total Maturity Benefit he can expect at the end of a 20 year term at 8% interest will be Rs. 2,25,000. & @ 4% Rs. 50,000.

In case of Vikas's untimely demise, his family will receive the guaranteed Death Benefit of Rs. 262,248 plus accrued regular bonus, hence total death benefit paid to the nominee is Rs. 4,87,248 at 8% interest and Rs. 312,248 @ 4% interest rate.
